Six Days in Fallujah developer Atomic Games provided scant details on its new game,Breach, in a faux classified document released on Monday. Today, however, the company has upped our clearance: Breach will bring a few new tricks to the military FPS genre this summer on Xbox Live Arcade.
Atomic, a studio that also develops simulations for the U.S. military and intelligence agencies, promises Breach "blows the floor out from under conventional military shooters." And that's not just hyperbole. Using the game's proprietary Hydrogen Engine, Atomic created highly destructible environments that players can manipulate in unique ways -- including blowing the floor out from another player.
From Atomic:
For the first time, virtual warriors can punch holes through floors to get the drop on enemies below, breach both interior and exterior walls, crush enemy fighters by collapsing ceilings and balconies, and even shoot away individual bricks to create shooter's holes.
Gamers will play as CIA Special Activities Division operatives and use accurate weapons, gear, and unspecified "spy gadgets" to take out their enemies. Breach also features an active cover system that allows players to instantly attach to cover, peak out, pop in and out, and blind fire.
Atomic said Breach will be available for download on Xbox Live this summer offering "the kinds of innovation and features expected in a full packaged game." We'll keep you posted.
